Acquisition and Integration of Knowledge
Students must be guided in relating new knowledge to what they know, organizing it, and making it part of long-term memory
Two types of knowledge:
- Declarative Knowledge
Facts, concepts, generalizations, and principles
- Procedural Knowledge
Skills, procedures, and processes
Dimension 3
Extension and Refinement of Knowledge
Learners must develop in-depth understanding and apply and refine that knowledge
Common reasoning processes are:
- Comparing — How are these things alike? - Classifying — How can these be organized? - Inductive Reasoning — Based on these facts, what is your conclusion? - Deductive Reasoning — Based on this rule, what conclusions can you draw that must be true? - Analyzing Errors — How is this information misleading? - Constructing Support — What is an argument that would support this claim? - Abstracting — To what other situations can this apply? - Analyzing Perspectives — What is the reasoning behind this perspective?
